Lets assume AI can produce production ready code without any problems (this is what these CEOs likely believe anyway). Something that can produce thousands of lines of code per minute is not enough for these greedy fucks that now they want prompts given by speaking so that things move even faster?

I can type a lot faster than I can speak

So what is the real purpose? Surely this can't be it. Trying to solve a problem that has been solved more efficiently tons of times.

Just be like me and assume it's a shitpost until proven otherwise. If it's real then he's probably testing a specialised equipment

The C-suite people got rich by (to be a little reductionist about it) telling other people what to do, and they can't imagine that everyone else wouldn't leap at the chance to do the same.

Most of them got rich by being born. Telling people what to do is just a fun pastime for them.

Fuck AI, but if this was something those loud public phone people could wear that would be great. Like the dude shouting into his phone on the bus, pair it with some headphones leave us in peace

Save money. Get human shaped boxes with lids that they can lay down in to save energy to increase productivity!

Before I read the text I thought this was a photo of a stenographer; they used those or similar in depositions I've given.

Next up: Humans are hardwiring themselves to the computers, with only the brain and a few select "most important" organs remaining of them.

I forget where I read it, but apparently this is being pushed to replace or augment court stenography. Apparently, there is more demand for court recorders than stenographers to fulfill (not sure if this is true, but that’s the claim), so this option is being proposed as the AI dictation requires less training than stenography.

I have never seen anyone except streamers try this out in all honesty, I doubt the article is actually truthful. Even vibe coders understand how to type.

[–] VinegarChunks@lemmus.org 6 points 1 week ago

I got subpoenaed once and the stenographer used one of these.

Cap here. The product is called vocal dampener and used by singers during warmup
